DETROIT – Historically, I will admit I’m not much of a bargain shopper. I can never seem to find the correct item and the right price; However, times have changed, and so have prices, so I’m now working to find those deals like many of you.
So, we decided to put the store brands up against the brand-name products. We bought all the staples you can imagine, from paper towels to chicken and coffee.
Now, I will tell you I was stunned. I knew we would save money, but I had no idea how much we would save. We saved almost 50% when comparing both bills.
Saving 50% is a ton as it translates to saving about $40. That is a lot of cash. I will say with some of the items, you can taste the difference.
The store-brand coffee, for example, needs some help, and the same is true for the peanut butter. However, I was shocked to see the paper towels essentially matched up.
I should also mention when we shopped at Kroger, we got extra discounts by signing up for the Kroger card. It’s free and saves you cash, so why not?
We all need to work to save some money right now, and with the rising grocery process, you may as well shop around and compare prices and brands.
Again, I can’t believe how much we saved, and it will defiantly change the way I shop in the future.
